The old-school sound of the Custom Gibson ES-335 is provided, among other things, by two Unpotted Custombuckers from Gibson in the neck and bridge position, a three-way and a VariTone switch. Hand-wired Paper-in-Oil caps add the final vintage touch to the tone and can be adjusted by two Golden Volume and Tone Gibson Historic knobs. The core of this model, however, is the reissue of the 1950 Bigsby B7 vibrato, which really makes the electric guitar sing and wail. A Gibson ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge adds to the tonal stability and gives the guitar a hidden characteristic with round covers for the pearl-look holes.

A body of three-ply maple-poplar-maple laminationsurrounds a solid center block, which has contributed to the voluminous jazz sound of Gibson's semi-acoustic ES-335 since its first introduction in 1958. These high-quality tone woods are painted in an "Argentine Grey" sunburst, which was commissioned by B.B. King at the time for the guitar that was used as the inspiration for this model. Special aging technology of Tom Murphy Labs makes the nitrocellulose finish a special eye-catcher and gives this gem its unique and authentic look.

The soft mahogany wood of the neck, together with the time-honored neck profile, ensures the optimal playing and wearing comfort of the Gibson ES-335. Six strings nestle on a rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and dot inlays, which rests on the glued neck in the '59 Rounded Medium C-profile. Stylish Nickel Grover "Milk Bottle" tuners sit at the head.
